Abstract (en)

An apparatus and method for calibrating a computer-generated projected image to the displayed image viewed on the computer screen. Four or more calibration spots, at least three of which are collinear, arrayed in a predetermined pattern in both the displayed and the projected images, are optically imaged and electronically discriminated in the projected image, their coordinates ascertained and related to the predetermined pattern so as to derive transformation coefficients used in the process of converting a location on the projected image to the corresponding location in the displayed image.
